Man it's not possible to have multiple spaces in a row in your username, is it? Cause I would just love to become "CITY TOAST" but if I can't get like 10 spaces in there, there's no point.
fake edit: you can't even do it in a post. Why the gently caress would that be. Do extra spaces take up valuable bandwidth?

One more, the rest of the ideas I had involved Pat or Roast Beef for the most part and I wanted to stick with the idea of these matchbooks being very Ray-esque for now

do you mind posting your glasses layers as images so that other goons can more easily make their own?

The funny pictures thread turned up a few more but imo the best of them is this Roast Beef one (probably change "reading" to "coding")

Fellas, I am begging you, color match the achewood props to the yellowed matchbox color. You just need to change the layer blending option to multiply, magic wand around the stuff you pasted in, and paintbrush in the yellow.

You obviously aren�t up to date with your 2008 lesbian stereotypes.

Actually those ones are still pretty current.

They are attempting to research the cultural tropes of lesbians. Ray's only knowledge of lesbians not related to pornography is that they own dogs and purchase Subarus; Williams evidently knows a lesbian couple and contacts them directly. This demonstrates that Ray is completely hosed from the get-go.

fun fact is that subaru actively courted lesbians, which is probably a phrase in an erotic fiction somewhere

Thanks. I appreciate you breaking this down for me. I didn't realize that that was what Ray was doing (most lesbians I know prefer cats) nor that the name used by the old man is a woman's name, so the whole thing read like complete nonsense to me.

You're very welcome, and I hope that you will consider purchasing a Subaru in the future, whether your interests be lesbian or other.

I get you though, Onstad is very good at those 'this FEELS like a real conversation on arcana, but is it actually or did he just make poo poo up?'
